When Israel was divided into two kingdoms around 930 BCE, it split into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.

The northern kingdom eventually fell to the Assyrian Empire in 722 BCE, while the southern kingdom of Judah was conquered by the Babylonian Empire in 586 BCE, leading to the Babylonian Exile.

What was the capital of Palestine at the time of Luke's Gospel?

Although David established Jerusalem as the capital of a united Israel long before Jesus came, the country later split into two kindgoms - the kingdom of the north retaining the name of Israel and that of the south being called Judah, as it occupied much of the territory that was held as the area of the tribe of Judah way back in the time of Jacob abd his twelve sons . The Kingdom of Israel (or Northern Kingdom) existed as an independent state until around 720 BC when it was conquered by the Assyrian Empire; while the Kingdom of Judah (or Southern Kingdom) existed as an independent state until 586BC when it was conquered by the Babylonicn Empire. Until these times the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel was Samaria, and the southern kingdom of Judah still held Jerusalem as its capital. In the time of Jesus, the Roman Empire had conquered both Israel and Judah (which became known by its Latin name of Judea) and the two capitals retained as administrative centres, but as they were part of the Roman Empire, the official capital city was, of course, Rome.

Much of the nine landed tribes of the northern kingdom become 'lost'. However, what is less commonly know is that many people from the conquered northern kingdom fled south to safety in Judea, the Southern Kingdom, which maintained its independence.
